Wacom tablet issues...

So I haven't used my Wacom Tablet (4x5 Graphire4) for a few months at least. I went to use it just yesterday for the first time on my new iMac, and right from the get-go, things were really off:

Moving the stylus close to the tablet registered as a mouse-click, instead of actually tapping the tablet. This makes it virtually impossible to move the cursor around. I tried changing this feature within the Pen Tablet driver menu; no dice.

At first I figured it may not be compatible with my Mac for some reason (I'm new to Mac and am still learning the little quirks). I plugged it into my Windows laptop - which it had always worked flawlessly on - and I had the same problem. It's really frustrating how it would just stop working one day.

Has anyone else ever heard of this? Do I just need to order another shoddy stylus, or scrap the tablet altogether?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
